I couldn’t stand Ozzie by the end. A guy who quit on his team doesn’t seem an obvious candidate to make players stop quitting on the team.

The only thing he’d accomplish here is making them even more unlikeable.

Like I said, I'm not a fan of Ozzie. But he's like Billy Martin. He can shake up a team that needs it. You just have to understand he has a shelf life and it isn't long.

"I've been talking about culture here since day one and brought it up again about three or four weeks ago," Grifol said. "I feel like we're not even close to where we need to be, but we're heading in the right direction."

Hahn and Grifol said there have been times when players have violated team rules, but they faced discipline that wasn't disclosed under a typical baseball policy of "what happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse."

Hahn said Middleton was of those players.

"Quite frankly, it's a little bit ironic that Keynan's the one saying this, because my last conversation with him face-to-face was a week ago in the clubhouse where he sought me out to apologize for his unprofessional behavior Pedro had called him out on," Hahn said. "At the time I figured that was a one-off."

Just watched Laz Diaz toss Aaron Boone. Two of the best examples of shitty people getting high paying jobs they don't deserve. It was very VERY funny. Boone should find a job as a comedian of a stunt man. Diaz, he's just a piece of shit dumb umpire

Kenny Williams will go the way of Paxson or he's going to take over in the offseason. Hahn and Grifol are out.

Kenny has to be gone too. The whole LaRoche clubhouse deal and throwback jerseys being cut up was on his watch as well.

lol, they aren't firing Grifol (and paying him) after one season. Get real.

This organization can't even pick the correct throwback jerseys.

And when they do pick the correct one (1983), they stick with it for ten years.

Also I saw a tweet (can't find it now) that said the Sox are something like 9-20 while wearing those black Southside uniforms. Thats reason enough to get rid of them.

I'm a fan of the Southside gear. I even had a mask.

It's better than the Wrigleyville stuff for sure. Think it tries to hard, but it's fine.

The death of Rocky Wirtz should accelerate a change from Uncle Jerry if he wants to win another WS before he is gone.

Its not a bad look, I've certainly seen worse. But for whatever reason they wear them in daygames a lot. All black in the blazing summer sun isn't the best idea.

What are you, a clown?

Reinsdorf has to be finally held accountable. How many of these ridiculous incidents will there be with this organization? I'm not sure what's worse, the debacle around Chris Sale or these last two days. As much as I give Sox fans crap, no fanbase should have to deal with this shit. Why would you even want to spend a penny on the Sox after this?

On July 8, Swanson went on the injured list with a bruised left heel. He was out until July 22, and during that time, with the buy-sell question hanging over the club, he estimated he spoke two or three times with Hoyer.

How concerned was Swanson that the Cubs were going to sell?

“Very,” Swanson said, chuckling. “You know me. I was like, ‘Golly, if they get rid of people, I’m going to be upset. I’m going to come in guns blazing.’”

Swanson, in his conversations with Hoyer, did not only voice his faith in this year’s club. He also made a broader, more philosophical appeal, talking about what the Cubs should aspire to, what kind of organization they should want to be.

“My thing was, you can’t just turn it on and off, when you want to win,” Swanson said. “If we want to be good, the expectation needs to be that we’re going to win. Just because it’s not going purely as planned this year, you get to a deadline, (you can’t just say) we’re done with the year.

i’m guessing Jackie’s conversationss ( which I doubt he has any ) with Rick Hahn aren’t exactly the same.
